Larceny in Round 4, Pick 2 lands the Seahawks a B, James and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. DJ James tumbling to the Seahawks in pick No. 102 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Keegan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 16th pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They let Kiran Amegadjie come to them and pounced at No. 81. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 DJ James
Somehow DJ James was still sitting there in the 102nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick 118 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell is a better player than pick No. 179 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at Round 6, Pick 17. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
They will replay Tahj Washington at slot 235 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
